Chapter 7: Time Magic! (2/2)
Sinking deeper into the feeling, Lenard failed to notice the commotion he was causing outside. Everyone watched as time around Lenard came to a standstill as a bright green light could be seen on one of the crystal orbs. The light was not extremely bright to call him a genius yet, the magic affinity was something no one expected to see in this part of the world. The only one who possesses this ability is the man popularly known as the human emperor.
The only human who was able to wipe out all the beast-men in his region and create a human-only empire. He possessed enough power to make the phoenix emperor and the dragon emperor acknowledge his strength and see him as their equal!
This magic is called Time magic.
HISSSSSSS!
Instructor Han was still admiring the glow around Lenard when he sensed murderous intentions all directed towards Lenard, especially from a red-haired youth who had a scar across his face. He had a fiery presence similar to that of the Phoenix emperor. The beast men refused to accept the birth of another human emperor with the time magic. Instead of letting him grow, they would rather kill him here and avoid future complications!
Lucien growled as his animal instincts kept screaming in his head, pointing at Lenard as a potential threat. His white eyes which lacked both pupils and iris made him look like a predator as he focused on Lenard. His upper body leaned forward as he crouched slightly and used two fingers to support his posture. Anyone who noticed Lucien would think he was practicing for a sprint competition.
”Everyone, calm down!” Instructor Han said as he understood why the beast-men are reacting this way.
The birth of a human with the time magic could lead to the same event of the past, where all the beast-men population was wiped out by Basten Slade, the human emperor with the power over time! As much as he would have loved to call them paranoid and claim they are reacting, Han could understand their emotions and instincts. He knew if he were the one in the same situation, he would have felt the same way.
Bam!
While Han's attention was focused on the young master of the Phoenix household, Lucien shot forward with all his strength. His innate affinity to the wind element showcased itself as his feet moved so fast that it was hard to follow it. His sudden attack was so fast and flawless that many were left stunned since they failed to understand how a youth who is yet to undergo refinement can move so quickly.
Most of all, his guts were what was even more impressive. For him to dare attack a student in front of an instructor took a lot of courage and this is one department Lucien excelled in. His movement was so quick he too was left stunned by how fast he was moving but what left him even more confused was the fact that Instructor Han was able to follow his movements, gazing at him with the same charming smile on his face.
Bam!
Lucien crashed into an invisible wall, the moment he reached Lenard. Falling on his back, Lucien quickly sprang to his feet, preparing to launch another attack but Instructor Han was already there, standing between him and his target.
”You have got really large balls since you dare stand in my way” Lucien said with his eyes narrowed, leaving everyone including Instructor Han stunned.
